Hewlett-Packard Company Unveils Remote Graphics Software
Fort Collins, CO; August 16, 2004 -- Hewlett-Packard Company (HP) has introduced a groundbreaking new software that enables customers in graphics-intensive fields, such as engineering and graphic design, to collaborate with teams across geographically dispersed regions in real time. HP Remote Graphics, an interactive 3D graphics software application, enables artists, engineers, and designers to work closely with remote teams in a more productive manner and eliminates the need to upgrade to an expensive 3D graphics card on each user's machine.
The software can be used with workstations, notebooks or commercial desktop PCs, and with visual image quality true to the original, it provides users with an easy-to-use, secure collaboration solution at an affordable price.
HP Remote Graphics provides an alternative to high-bandwidth-consuming software for businesses with multiple national or international locations. It also removes the 2D collaboration limitation of other software alternatives by allowing customers to work with large 3D models, such as those in the digital content creation (DCC), mechanical computer-aided design, and computer-aided engineering (MCAD/CAE) industries.
The software can reduce expensive travel costs associated with face-to-face meetings by enabling such information to be transferred securely across a standard network connection by hosting the intellectual property within a secured network boundary.
HP Remote Graphics software uses the company's proprietary compression and decompression technology to enable cross-regional collaboration and sharing on graphics-intensive projects over a standard network connection with minimal lag time between the sender rendering and the receiver updates.
HP Graphics software creates new business efficiencies and changes the way people collaborate and work together across geographically dispersed areas. Some examples include:
-- Workplace collaboration: Engineers can cross collaborate on designs and projects regardless of their location;
-- Classroom learning: Instructors can give tutorials and remotely oversee and provide input to students in real time;
-- Remote information technology (IT) support: IT support staff can better visualize and assist users on remote computing systems;
-- Sales demonstrations: Early product designs can be delivered to a remote client location from the main sales office;
-- Work/life balance: Entire industries can now realize the productivity and flexibility benefits of working from home while connecting to the office.
HP Remote Graphics software is expected to be available in October from authorized resellers or direct from HP at [url=\"http://software.hp.com\"]http://software.hp.com[/url] starting at an estimated U.S. street price of $399 for HP systems, including licenses for a single sender and receiver. Additional receiver licenses are expected to be available for an estimated U.S. street price of $99 each.
HP Remote Graphics software will be sold as stand-alone software, compatible with most high-performance workstations and high-end commercial desktop PCs. The software is designed for HP-UX 11.0 or later, Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP, and Red Hat Linux platforms.
